gamified education
Tag: edutainment
Edutainment had a reputation for low quality, and the games industry cut ties with it. Now a lot of those are known as “educational software”
edutainment that merely uses games to cover up distasteful parts of learning (chocolate covered broccoli) has historically failed. All activities can be motivating and enjoyable, but the system needs to be holistically created.
don’t create challenges that add enjoyment in an edutainment sense, instead identify the challenges that are already there and restructure them in a motivating way
